In an article published by Australian Defence Magazine on Friday, September 6 on the topic of data sharing reform, Elsight Founder & CEO Nir Gabay provided valuable commentary highlighting the international dimension of such reform:

Nir Gabay, managing director of Elsight, said the government should consider international data-sharing to enable better collaboration with countries like Israel on national security matters.

“One aspect that Minister Robert’s reforms should consider is the dimension of public data-sharing that concerns international data transfers,” Gabay said. “This is a significant challenge for cross-border confidential and sensitive data sharing between governments.

“Ultimately, Minister Robert’s announcement is a welcome sign the Australian government is listening.”
